As the 2012 Presidential election campaign continues, David Mamet's November offers audiences a fiendishly funny, over-the-top, no-holds-barred take on American politics. Unfolding in one day, just days before a national election and with poll numbers "lower than Gandhi's cholesterol," President Charles Smith (Alley Company Artist John Tyson), the most corrupt and inept buffoon to sit in the Oval Office, sets his sight on a second-term. With his usual acerbic wit and edgy social commentary, Mamet's latest masterpiece is a gleeful cornucopia of corruption and political incorrectness full of shady backroom schemes like Thanksgiving turkeys awaiting pardon and an American Indian lobbyist who wants to turn Nantucket into a gambling resort that will leave you laughing out loud. "Extremely funny" (The New York Times), November "rollicks from one politically incorrect punch line to the next" (San Francisco Chronicle).
Recommended for mature audiences due to language and thematic content.

Embrace this time of year when you’re not labeled crazy for pretending to be someone – or something – other than yourself. So, release the zombie bride or vampire hottie buried deep inside let loose at HSS’s Monster of a Bash!
It’s a classic Halloween Party: dry ice, haunting decorations, gross – yet delicious – munchies, costume contest, the monster mash, a psychic that will provide readings for a price, everything you remember from the good old days with the addition of some excellent cocktails in an equally excellent atmosphere. What better place than a public house straight out of the pages of London (the streets of which used to be roamed by Jack the Ripper) to have a horrifyingly fabulous Halloween party?
Get out there and meet your fellow Houstonians outside your immediate circle – you never know who you might meet and then…..who knows?! The monthly HSS Big Party is always free for members and only $10 for guests at the door. Not a member? Not to worry, you can join in a jiff by hitting the JOIN link at http://www.HoustonSocialSource.com. Discover how much of Houston you can gain for so little an investment.
